From here to eternity, seems to be coming too slow,

My bags are all packed and I’m ready to go.

At 101 I’ve seen all I need to see,

Ain’t nothing left here still a holding me.

My family’s all gone and this music’s too loud,

And I’m worn out on this place with the wheelchair crowd. 

Oh don’t get me wrong, I still love all that I can,

But I’m tired of living on this worldly health plan. 

You see Jesus my Savior is there waiting for me,

With my loved ones and new body I can’t wait to see.

And I long to hear those words of “well done,”

My good and faithful servant, come and join the fun. 

Though I became a follower of the Christ kind of late,

He has never failed to assure me he has reserved my date. 

So please don’t wake me should I sleep for too long,

The anticipation has ended, and I’m singing a new song. 

From here to eternity is finally here at last,

And that world that I lived in, wow, did that ever go fast.
